I know what you mean, for the past 5 years I have been getting my yard ready for my old age...lol No more weeding, no more pruning, just some mowing which I happen to like. Lots of hardy bushes and ground covers. You are doing right. :) Kit

I hear ya! I bagged over 45 bags of leaves last summer and this year I can see all of the branches and twigs sitting on top of the snow that will need removing and the idea of walking behind the mower again this year doesn't bode for sweet memories of summer! The older I get the less I care for all of the yard work.Marcia

Oh gosh a tree out is so hard! But they sometimes have to go, they do. We had some taken out here that didn't have to go as short as they did. The electrical company came and said they would be trimming trees and they took out so many all the way down to the ground. We were absolutely devastated. What used to be hidden isn't as well as before and it makes me sad. So, we will probably plant more there.
